Answer:
CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)
Mole ratios for the balanced equation be:
1:2, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 2:2
Explanation:
CH4(g)+O2(g) → CO2(g)+ H2O(l)
To balance a chemical equation, you must have the same mole of each element in both sides of the reaction (reactant side and product side)
CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)
2 C
8 H
8 O
In both side.
It takes 1 mole of methane to react with 2 mole of oxygen in order to produce 1 mol of dioxide and 2 mole of water.
Mole ratios for the balanced equation be:
Mole ratios for the balanced equation be:
1:2, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 2:2 - We should compare each compound
1 mol methane → 2 mole of oxygen
2 mole of oxygen → 1 mol of methane
2 mole of oxygen → 1 mol of dioxide
1 mole of dioxide → 1 mol of Methane
2 mole of water → 2 mole of oxygen (the same as opposite)
1 mol methane → 2 mole of water
2 mol of water → 1 mol of methane
